So I’ve been scouring your documentation to figure out how to use the shortcodes you have in your demo like the tab, dropcaps, etc… But I cant seem to find a guide anywhere. Can someone point me to the right resource please? Or do I need to install another plugin like ‘shortcoder’
Thanks
As with most modern themes, to use shortcodes, go to a temp page, save as draft.
In the post box, switch to HTML editor vs text editor tab.
Click on the shortcode button to see possible shortcodes…. drop one onto the draft page, then preview to see what it looks like …
at least, that’s how I do it 🙂
Hi,
You can see every shortcode like Chris suggested like so:
add a block element in visual composer on a dummy page: http://screencast.com/t/jSkjHH9SH
then enter classic mode and text mode: http://screencast.com/t/sKvHNpoFCqx
Thank you!
Thanks for the replies guys!
It seems that shortcodes are only available for pages and not posts… Did I miss a trick somewhere? I know some other themes that have used shortcodes in posts – are we saying that shortcodes are only available for pages in the Newspaper theme?
Hello,
You can use shortcodes in posts also. You can activate visual composer for posts and add content blocks to your post directly: http://screencast.com/t/F4Kx1KXAqM (this option could create a few css issues as it’s not tested)
It depends on the shortcode if a post can accept it or not. for example you can use a custom ad spot in posts using an ad box shorcode: http://screencast.com/t/RlCcYPp2PK – http://screencast.com/t/x6Oiqytc result: http://screencast.com/t/y4UdT4lLez
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
You’re awesome!!! Thanks for this
